"Hi"

This morning, Serena was talking on her phone (these days, anything becomes a phone: a washcloth, a plate, her doll's bottle; I think this morning it was the play dollar bill from her singing purse) and kept saying "Hi" and then talking a little and then "Hi" again. Up till now, she has not said "Hi," so I called her over and said "Hi" to her and she responded with an enormous grin and a "Hi"!!!! It was SO cute! For the rest of the day, we said "Hi" back and forth countless times. She even mustered up a "Hi" for Aunt Jessie on the phone! Then, tonight as I was changing her diaper and putting on her jammies before bed, she laid there and kept saying ever-so-cheerfully, "Hi!" :D

Here's some pix from today!

Peek!

Serena's new funnest thing to do: climb up on the toilet!

Another gorgeous warm day spent mostly outside!

Playing in the dirt with Rocky always nearby! Rocky is not allowed to dig, so he just watches closely while Serena digs. If she happens to pull up anything of interest (as she apparently did in this picture), he is right there to investigate!
